New York native Alexander Berardi gave us a “happy take on 2010”. Designs were delicate, feminine, and elegant, created for a very specific type of woman. Tiered ruffles, sexy sequin dresses and loose drapery were Upper East Side flirty. A key piece was the tuxedo inspired blazers for evening. A bright orange dress and a pink and orange floral print add a flash of color to the neutral collection. There was a sophisticated sailor influence with the navy hats and details like pleating, piping and gold buttons. A collection fit for a strong, classy Manhattanite.

As a Pratt Alum, Andy & Debb Spring 2010 was another collection that did me proud. The pieces played with shapes, textures and had a very 50’s feel. I can see them dressing the cast of MadMen with this line. We saw bubble skirts and chic tailored suits in a palette of burnt orange, copper, gold, and magentas. Kudos, Prattlings.
